737 saved by Emergency Arresting System. Essendon could do with it
LeadSled,
you see that little, evil, blue smiley face at the end of the Captain's comment - the comment you quote?

The current stopway at the end of Essendon Runway 17 is, by observation from vicinity of Dan Murphy's bottle shop, about 80 metres of hard surface. Then a nasty drop to the Tullamarine Freeway.
If wet from rain, the most likely reason for an over-run, the braking efficiency is considerably reduced on that stopway making it worse than useless. 80 metres of EMAS is surely better than 80 metres of hard surface?
